Innovate, Push Boundaries, Long Hours
Fantastic company to be a design engineer for. They let you try new and exciting things, and constantly push the boundaries of technology. There isn't that much political drag; if you can pitch a good case, you'll be allowed to make and do new things. Great company to build incredible experience with.
This isn't really a con for me, but the hours can be quite long. I love the work I do, so I voluntarily stay long, but it could be hard if you had a family.
Setup better in-house prototyping. We spend too much money on expedite fees for everything!
